Chapter 4

Vanna's P.O.V.

Alright, hold up. I'm going to rewind this story back for a moment.

Ok so after the fight with the robot bulls was over, me, Jane, Becky, Annabeth, and Percy went to go check on Jaclyin, who had been dragged away from the fight by Matt.

We entered the infirmary where Matt had a nervous look on his face as he stood over the bed where Jaclyin was.

I was about to say something when all of a sudden Tantalus burst into the room with an angry look on his face.

He then started going off on all this stuff about how he was going to kick us out of camp if we didn't get Ares stupid lost shield and so on. Me, Jane, and Jaclyin were outraged at this conversation and were all about to yell in protest when Becky said it.

"We'll do it." She said.

Jaclyin and I looked at her with appalled looks on our faces while Jane did what you would call a 'face palm.'

After Becky and Tantalus had left, we all looked at each other just before Jaclyin started having a meltdown.

After she had cooled down, Matt told us he would walk her around for a sort of 'therapy' session.

"Sure…a 'therapy' session," Jane said to Matt with a smile on her face.

Matt blushed and then they were out the door. Percy and Annabeth the told us they had 'important matters' to attend to, then left me and Jane there.

"Well…who's up for a walk?" I asked.

"Um…actually…I…" she started to say as I cut her off.

"Jonathan?" I said.

"Well…maybe." She said hiding her face.

"Figures. I'm not stoping you…go on! Have fun." I said in a sighing/sarcastic voice. "I'll just stay here…alone."

"Hey if you want me to stay…"

I cut her off with a laugh, "I'm just messing with you! I don't care what you do."

She looked at me with a suspicious face then she was off.

I decided to take a walk through camp by myself. I saw Cameron, who was glaring at me, along with Clarisse.

"Hey owl head! Got any wise cracks for us today?" Clarisse asked me while some other Ares campers started laughing.

"You know what? I would tell you some but I think they would just be too complex for your fragile little brains to comprehend!" I said sarcastically.

"WHY YOU LITTLE-" Clarisse was about to say when she was cut off by James.

"Vanna!" James said rushing towards me.

Clarisse glared at him as he rushed over to us.

"Tantalus says he needs to talk to you right now! So come on!"

I stared at him then looked at Clarisse.

"Hurry up! He said it was urgent!" James said as he was pulling me away.

Clarisse glared at me and said, "We'll finish this later."

As soon as we were far enough away from Clarisse and the Ares gang, I asked, "So what does Mr. Big Head need to talk to me about?"

"Nothing." James said as he stopped dragging me. "I just thought I should get you out of there before it got ugly."

I smiled and said, "Thanks. So how's camp been?"

James smiled and said, "Oh you know, same old same old. A few monsters here and there. But it was also a little boring without y-" he hesitated for a second, "you guys here."

I laughed and asked, "Hey do you want to play a game?"

He looked at me suspiciously and said, "What kind of game?"

"Twenty questions. Ready…go!"

He chuckled at me and said, "Favorite color?"

"Green." I answered.

"Favorite thing about Camp Half-Blood?"

"Definitely playing Capture the Flag." I said answered.

He smiled and said, "Me too…um…what's one thing you can't stand?"

"Test taking! It gets me so nervous and I tense up! But everything always turns out aright in the end." I laughed and said, "I'm just glad schools out…you know what I mean?"

James expression faded and he said, "Yeah. I…I guess."

I looked at him suspiciously and said, "Well…what school do you go to?"

He looked away from me then said, "Um…I have some stuff I have to talk to Josh about…see you later!"

He then ran off in the opposite direction without looking back.

I was about to run after him to see what was going on, when suddenly I heard a voice.

"Hey But-Trumpet!" I heard Jaclyin say(Don't EVEN ask how I got that nickname).

I turned around and glared at her. She was clinging onto Matt as he was helping her walk.

"What's up?" I said.

"Nothing much. Hey have you seen Becky anywhere?"

"No…but I'm really worried about the news we might get." I said.

"Yeah me too. And what's with this whole Ares's shield quest thing?" She asked.

Matt suddenly let her go and glared at the two of us.

"You don't know about Ares's shield?" He said in amazement.

"Um…no. Should we?" Jaclyin asked.

"No, no. It's only the MOST POWERFUL SHEILD ON EARTH!" he said to us.

"Ok! No need to yell!" I said.

"So what happened to it?" Jaclyin asked.

"Well…a few years ago, Ares, with a little help from Hephaestus, made an all-powerful shield which-"

"Wait a minute…why on Earth would Hephaestus help Ares since he's his wife's boyfriend?" Jaclyin asked confused.

"Don't ask me. The mind of a God is really strange. Probably to get something out of it…but I didn't hear that part of the story." Matt said. "So anyway, they made an all-powerful shield which could defend and protect anything! It was actually more like a force field. In fact…it even had powers to turn a place invisible!"

"Ok, ok…but what do we have to do with it?" I asked.

"Well…Poseidon and Zeus didn't think it was fair that Ares had both an all-powerful shield AND an indestructible sword. So they ordered it to be hidden from any God's eyes. Only a demi-god can find it."

"And we just happen to be the first ones to ever go on a quest like this one?" I asked.

"Well…there have been others…" He hesitated, "But they all failed."

Jaclyin gulped and said, "Wh…what happened to them?"

"Apparently…there's a lot of monsters that guard the shield on its' island." Matt said.

"Great! So we're just walking into a death trap then! Just lovely." I said sarcastically.

"I'm really sorry guys…but you did ask for the story." Matt said.

Jaclyin was about to say something when we saw Becky rushing towards us with a nervous look on her face.

I was afraid to ask…but I figured no one else would, so I asked, "What's the news from the oracle?"

Becky sadly looked up at me and said, "Not good."

PSDW: SO HOW WAS IT? GOOD? NOT SO GOOD? HUH! I NEED TO KNOW PEOPLE!

FFS: GALILEO!

WPBW4L: galileo.

FFS: GALILEO!

WPBW4L: galileo.
